President Bush's appearance with a comedic look-alike at last Saturday's White
House Correspondents' Association Dinner in Washington may have backfired, as a
new poll released today shows that the public prefers Mr. Bush's look-alike to
the president himself by an almost three-to-one margin.

According to the survey conducted by the University of Minnesota's Opinion
Research Institute, in a head-to-head match-up Mr. Bush's imposter garners 74%
support while Mr. Bush gets only 25%, with the other one percent saying they
found "no difference" between Mr. Bush and his funnyman look-alike.

And while only 36% of those surveyed approve of the job Mr. Bush is doing as
president, 97% approve of the job Mr. Bush's look-alike is doing of ridiculing
the job Mr. Bush is doing as president.

Dr. Davis Logsdon, who supervised the survey for the University of Minnesota,
believes that while the new poll numbers are troubling news for the president,
Mr. Bush could dramatically improve his standing with the American people by
involving his look-alike in more key White House decision.

"Most Americans do not approve the idea of President Bush invading Iran, but
they wouldn't mind so much if his funny look-alike did it," Dr. Logsdon said.

But behind the poll numbers, there is potential trouble looming for Mr. Bush's
popular look-alike: "There is already a perception out there that he is being
controlled by a Dick Cheney look-alike."

I think Cheney's look-alike has access to a shotgun...
